Police divers rescued a guy in an overturned kayak a mile off of Coney Island on April 30.
Two divers from the department’s Aviation Unit hopped from a helicopter at 9:48 am to help the 33-year-old climb onto one of the force’s harbor boats.
Police shipped the waterlogged recreationist to Kingsborough Community College, where an ambulance was waiting, but the guy declined medical help, officials said.
Divers also recovered the kayak, according to a police report.
